Have you ever wished you could systematically examine a large amount of formant movement data in fine detail? Your wish can now come true with FormantPro (version 1.0, developer: Yi Xu) -- a free interactive Praat script for large-scale systematic analysis of continuous formant movements: http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/yi/FormantPro/. Building on its sister tool ProsodyPro (http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/yi/ProsodyPro/), FormantPro has the following major features:

- Automatic extraction of continuous trajectories of F1, F2, F3 and F2_3, using Praat’s built-in “To Formant (burg)...” function, where F2_3 = mean (F2, F3), a joint indicator of tongue frontness

- Exhaustively process all sound files in a folder

- Automatically save time-normalized formant and formant velocity trajectories for selected intervals

- Automatically save many measurements, including: maxformant, minformant, meanformant, mean intensity, duration and max formant velocity

- Automatically collect extracted trajectories and measurements from all sound files in a folder and save them in ensemble files for further analysis and processing

- Automatically average measurements and time-normalized trajectories across repetitions and save them in ensemble files

- Automatically average time-normalized trajectories across speakers and save them in ensemble files
 
Explanations and instructions can be found at the web sites. For more information and bug reports, please contact yi.xu at ucl.ac.uk
